The Growing Popularity of Lip Fillers!

In the world of cosmetic injections, nothing has quite taken off so astronomically like lip fillers. The trend may have arguably started with Kylie Jenner, but soon women and men everywhere began to see that their desire of having plump, full lips could easily be achieved by lip augmentation.

This trend has become so popular that many people who have never even thought of getting cosmetic treatments before are not only considering lip fillers but are going through with them.

Lip fillers can achieve dramatic results—if that’s what you are looking for. They can also be used to create a very natural “your lips, but better” look. This is the beauty of lip augmentation—it can be customized to your liking and what’s right for you! Lip fillers are also so appealing because you can quickly improve the look of your lips within a few hours, with little recovery time.

Previously, a lot of people thought cosmetic injections were just for anti-aging. However, younger celebrities are now being more forthcoming about their use of cosmetic injections. This has resulted in an overall increase in people, young and old, using them to enhance the look of their lips. Lip augmentation is effective at any age to make lips look plump and pillowy. They are also great for older individuals who have experienced thinning of the lips or lines around their lips as they age. Lip fillers can be injected directly in to the lip for fullness, but also around the lip to diffuse fine lines!

In the past, lip fillers previously used collagen, implants, or a transfer of fat from another area of the patient’s body. Now, the most modern and advanced lip fillers (like the ones used at Canada MedLaser) use hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) lip fillers, such as Juvaderm, Volbella, and Restylane were quickly adopted after they were introduced because they are much safer and last longer. They are, of course, medical grade and approved by Health Canada and the FDA.

Our bodies produce hyaluronic acid naturally. It is a humectant, which means that it retains moisture. Sadly, our naturally occurring HA levels can reduce because of our environment and also as we age. When HA levels reduce, we see skin and lips that look drier and duller and less voluminous. HA is having a huge moment right now in the beauty industry. It is one of the top ingredients for moisturizers, masks, and serums. This is because the presence of HA in our skin makes it look plumper, softer and more radiant. The same goes with our lips! While there are beauty products that apply hyaluronic acid to the surface of the lip, lip fillers are injecting the HA underneath, which is why the results of lip fillers are even more successful.

Lip fillers can improve the appearance of your lips by adding shape, structure, and volume to them. Amazingly, they do not feel any different from natural lips. Results will usually last around 6 months, but can last up to 12 months, depending on how the HA is metabolized in your body. Another great perk is that because HA naturally occurs in the body, you are far less likely to have an allergic reaction HA lip fillers. With HA lip fillers, they offer more control in creating a lip volume that is right for you and can be given gradually. Many people choose to do the treatment in a few sessions, so they can see a smaller change first and then decide if they want more. Also, if you are looking to dramatically change the look of your lips, it may be best to book a few sessions for the lip fillers to gradually build your lips up over time. Because lip fillers can be used to create a wide variation of results, it is important to communicate the results you are expecting with your medical professional. If you are nervous about not liking the results of the lip fillers, don’t worry! They can be dissolved by hyaluronidase quickly and easily
